Spring Allergies Making You Tired? Enter To Win

This post was sponsored by Xyzal® Allergy 24HR, but all thoughts and opinions are my own. Ad.

It’s that time of year. The flowers are blooming and the trees are turning green. While it’s beautiful outside, do your spring allergies make you tired?

Dave has long struggled with spring allergies. He gets congested, has to constantly clear his throat, and he is the only person I know that can seriously sneeze at least 30 times in a row! It’s like non-stop, rapid fire sneezing! While it’s a bit funny, I know being stuffed up and sneezing all the time isn’t fun. On top of that his symptoms get much worse when he mows the lawn.

And it all affects his sleep.

That’s why I was interested to learn that Xyzal Allergy 24 HR, an antihistamine, is now available over-the-counter (OTC) on retail shelves nationwide. At full prescription strength it is designed to relieve symptoms associated with seasonal and year-round allergies and it’s made to be as effective at hour 24 as it is at hour 1.

If your allergies make you tired, you’ll be intrigued to learn about a social experiment that used wearable devices to track the sleep and activity habits of 80 allergy sufferers and 80 non-allergy sufferers. It found that allergy sufferers had a harder time falling asleep and staying asleep than people without allergies. It was also found that allergy sufferers were also less rested and less physically active during the day than people without allergies.

According to the social experiment:

Allergy symptoms were the top factor that negatively impacted the sleep of allergy sufferers – even more so than stress, temperature, discomfort, or work

An allergy sufferers sleep could be disrupted nearly 4 times more than that of a person without allergies

Allergy sufferers traveled an average of 3.16 miles a day while active, while non-allergy sufferers whereas people without allergies traveled 3.35 miles. This averages to 69 fewer miles a year – the distance of two and a half marathons!

What’s even better, the makers of the new Xyzal Allergy 24HR care about the results of this social experiment and are sharing it to encourage allergy sufferers to Wise Up about the importance of managing your allergies this spring so you can have a better night’s sleep and Rise Up in the morning to take on the day.

Dave is looking forward to giving Xyzal Allergy 24 HR a try this spring and I’m excited to offer the giveaway below for one reader to win a Xyzal Wise Up and Rise Up kit!

About the Social Experiment

This social experiment was sponsored by Sanofi Consumer Healthcare and conducted by Russell Research. It used wearable devices to assess the sleep patterns and activities of 80 allergy sufferers and 80 non-sufferers for 30 consecutive days between October and December 2016. Participants also completed a daily survey to track perceptions of their allergy symptoms (for the 80 allergy sufferers), sleep patterns and activities, as a way to provide additional context for the wearable device data. For the purposes of the experiment, allergy sufferers are defined as those who suffer from moderate or severe indoor and outdoor allergies in the fall or year round, and who take allergy medication 2 days per week or less.

I would love to win this! So tired of looking like a stoner when I clock in to work…lol
I love summer, it’s my favorite season by far, but allergies make it so difficult to enjoy somedays. I get the red eyes, itchy eyes, and runny nose the worst. Thanks for the giveaway!

My “seasonal allergies” include all the seasons all year. I have tried many things over the years. I would love a medication that helped to control allergy symtoms without drowsiness. I like that this is taken just once a day

I have extreme sinus/allergy problems this time of year. I would like to try Zyzal in the hopes it will help me to breathe easier, return my energy and make my life better during allergy season. :-) Thank you.

I would love to win because I am a huge fan of Xyzal! After not being able to get my allergies under control and suffering terribly from sinus & ear issues, I purchased Xyzal which just came onto the market about that same time. To me it was like a sign. Xyzal really helps keep my allergies under control.

I would love to try Zyzal to see if it helps my allergies. And all the other things are a great bonus!
